MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

The purpose of the invention is to add a function over substantially the entire surface of a large plate-shaped workpiece without any gaps by an imprinting method even with a mold member having a relatively small area. An indented pattern (2a) formed in a size corresponding to a positive integer multiple of the size of a pixel (B1) of a display device (B) is transferred by the imprinting method to a predetermined position on a transfer surface (1a) of a plate-shaped workpiece (1), and this transfer is repeatedly performed over substantially the entire transfer surface (1a) such that the transfers border each other. Consequently, since the positions of the indented pattern (2a) transferred by the imprinting method are disposed in the block areas of pixels (B1) and the boundaries of functional indented parts (1e) in adjacent unit transfer blocks are disposed at the block boundaries (B2) of pixels (B1), a great number of functional indented parts (1e) are consecutively formed over the entire transfer surface (1a) irrespective of the size of the plate-shaped workpiece (1).
